He often gets upset when his routine is changed but Kirstie is always there to make him feel more at home.

Kirstie, who lives in Sutton Avenue, Eastern Green, and goes to Monkspath School in Solihull, said: "It can be difficult to look after him but it is rewarding. I was amazed when we got the tickets and I think she's definitely the best mum ever.

"I knew something was going to happen because today is my 11th birthday and 11 is my lucky number."

The pet-mad youngster, who has a dog, three gerbils, a guinea pig and a rabbit, wants to help disabled children learn how to ride horses when she's older.

She will get to see Kylie's extravagant new Showgirl tour which has six performances at the NEC.

The diminutive chart sensation will revisit her biggest hits from the past 17 years, and dazzle the audience with a spectacular stage show.

She admits to not being able to keep still when she hears the Australian superstar's music, and her favourite song is Diva.

She said: "I really like the way she sings and her dresses are lovely. Her songs just get me dancing."

Medical secretary Sharon, aged 35, says her daughter is very protective over her brother and her two-year-old sister Rebekah.

She said: "She's a bit of a clucky mother hen. It can be stressful for her but I'm over the moon we got the tickets, and it's the break we need."

Sharon nominated her daughter for the tickets through the Coventry Carers Centre.

The centre contacted British Airways, who are giving concert tickets to deserving youngsters throughout the West Midlands.

Mary Barry, British Airways' manager of community relations, said: "We want these tickets to benefit young people who would never have the opportunity to have access to such an event - youngsters who have done something outstanding or who have achieved despite the odds against them."
